Why Manchester United can expect a better referee against Barcelona than Chelsea got

When the Pope’s not busy urging AIDS sufferers to shun condoms, he loves nothing better than blessing referees while wearing a middle-aged woman’s hat.

Either that or he was giving them the last rites ahead of the inevitable death threats.
